Write a description about your planned birthday celebration.
My parents and siblings have decided to celebrate my birthday in a grand way. My mother, Auntie and I together have decorated the house. We used balloons and festoons for decorating. We have invited our relatives, friends and neighbours for the function. We have requested them not to bring any gift. I think spending money on gifts is not a good practice. Father is making all arrangements. We simply support him. He will do things well and in good order. I humbly hope to have a wonderful day.

The Little Boy and the Old Man
Activity 1
You have read the poem ‘The Little Boy and The Old Man’. Here is another poem on mother’s love. Read it and answer the given questions.
My mother bore me in the southern wild,
And I am black but Oh! my soul is white;
White as an Angel is the English child.
But I am black as if bereaved of light.
My mother taught me underneath a tree.
And sitting down before the heat of the day,
She took me on her lap and kissed me,
And pointing to the east began to say.
Look on the rising sun: there God does live
And gives his light and gives his heat away.
And flowers and trees and beasts and men receive
Comfort in morning, joy in the noonday.
a) Where did the boy and his mother sit?
b) Pick out the line which shows mother’s love.
c) Who enjoy God’s love?
d) Somebody gave the title ‘God’s Light’ to this poem. How appropriate is the title?
Answer: a) Under a tree.
b) She took me on her lap and kissed me.
c) The flowers, trees, beasts and men.
d) The rising sun gives his light and heat away. The flowers, trees, beasts and men receive this light and enjoy. The poet compares the light of the rising sun to God’s light. So the title ‘Gods Light’ is an appropriate one.
